Hi Bold Bakers! You know what’s better than a cake? A birthday cake for Bigger Bolder Baking’s 4th birthday! The thing I look forward to the most on my birthday is celebrating with my friends and family by indulging in a slice of homemade cake. If I’m honest, dessert is always the best part of any bash. That is why I decided to rethink the classic birthday cake and create my own version of the ultimate celebration dessert – a 3-Layer Neapolitan Cake! Already have an account? Some people say their favorite flavor is chocolate while others say vanilla… and let’s not forget about the strawberry fans. When you put all 3 of these flavors together, you get the holy trinity known as Neapolitan. Inspired by my favorite Neapolitan Ice Cream recipe, this 3 Layer Neapolitan Cake is the perfect combination of decadence. From the inside out, with the cakes themselves and topped with the frosting, this cake has got all of your favorites wrapped into one. I love this departure from the same old Funfetti cake. This cake is not only filled with richness and flavor – it’s also one of the most impressive cakes I’ve made to date. This cake looks gorgeous and making it is as simple as making a classic sponge cake. After the cake batter is mixed up in one bowl, I divide it into 3 equal parts then flavor the batter with cocoa powder, fresh strawberry puree and vanilla extract to give it that Neapolitan twist. All of my GoodCook bakeware comes in handy when making desserts, so I used my GoodCook 9 inch round cake pan for this 3 Layer Neapolitan Cake. From their cooling racks to their cake decorating tools, GoodCook bakeware always helps me get the most professional results.
After I baked off my chocolate, vanilla and strawberry sponge I decorate my cake with… you guessed it, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry frosting! I love how easy this cake is to decorate, especially with using 3 of my favorite Crazy Frosting flavors.
Your friends’ jaws will drop when they see the 3 Layer Neapolitan cake standing tall with a stripe of brown, white and pink frosting. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate any occasion!
